According to a Broward Sheriff's Office affidavit, Jones and Moore fell asleep in their home, leaving the toddler unsupervised.
Deputy Rolando Reyes said the girl walked out of the home in a soiled diaper that was hanging down, exposing her private parts.
Reyes said the girl walked about a block and a half from her home, crossing a "highly trafficked street which often gets complaints about unlawful speed."
Jones and Moore told deputies they knew the door to their home "had issues and could not lock."
